ABSTRACT

Ratnasari, Devy Kartika. 2013. Improving Speaking Skill by Using Cue Card to

Class VII-B of the Seventh Grade Students of SMP 2 Gebog in Academic

Year 2013/2014 (A Classroom Action Research). Final Project: English

Education Department, Teacher training and Education Faculty. Muria

Kudus University. Advisors: (1) Drs. Suprihadi, M.Pd., (2) Fajar Kartika,

S.S, M.Hum.

Key Words: Speaking skill, Cue Card and classroom action research.

Speaking considers as the skill that has to be mastered by the language

learners because it is thought as one of the indicators to measure the success of

learning language. In fact, teachers has less motivation to give the students’

special treatment to make them eager to participate fully in learning speaking in

the class. That condition is also happened in SMP 2 Gebog. The students cannot

be focus and active. It is proved by the percentage of students that get high score

is only 36.6% and 63.4% gets low score in speaking in the class. After analyzing

the problems, the writer assumes to use instructional media that is cue card to

improve the students’ speaking skill.

This final project is action research. In this study, I limited the discussion

by stating the following problem: “how is the achievement of speaking skill of

class VII-B of the seventh grade students of SMP 2 Gebog in academic year

2013/2014 with the use of cue card?”. The aim of the study was to describe the

achievement of speaking skill of class VII-B of the seventh grade students of SMP

2 Gebog in academic year 2013/2014 with the use of cue card as the teaching

medium. It is expected that the result of the study will provide a deeper

understanding of the use of cue card as a teaching medium.

There were four steps in conducting the Classroom Action Research i.e.

planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. This action research was done in three

cycles. The first cycle was how to express thanking and apologizing expression,

like and dislike expression, and shopping list.

In the result, the students’ speaking skill improves from cycle I until cycle

III. In cycle I, the average of students’ speaking skill score is 71.06, in cycle II the

average of the students’ speaking skill score is 75.33 and in cycle III the average

of students’ speaking skill is 81.46. Besides, the students and teacher’s activity are

improved and the problem that faced by the teacher are decreased in every cycle.

Therefore, the writer can conclude that the use of cue card can improve students’

speaking skill of class VII-B at the Seventh Grade Students of SMP 2 Gebog in

Academic Year 2013/2014.

Referring to this action research, the writer offer several suggestions. First,

she suggest that the English teacher should try to use cue card as one of the

teaching media. Second, English teacher should encourage the students to

improve their speaking skill by giving more practice and exercise, such as

retelling story, performing speech, practicing dialogue, and so forth.

ABSTRAK

Ratnasari, Devy Kartika. 2013. Improving Speaking Skill by Using Cue Card to

Class VII-B of the Seventh Grade Students of SMP 2 Gebog in Academic

Year 2013/2014 (A Classroom Action Research). Tugas Akhir.:

Departemen Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris. Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu

Pendidikan. Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (i) Drs. Suprihadi,

M.Pd., (ii) Fajar Kartika, SS, M.Hum.

Kata kunci : ketrampilan berbicara, cue card, penelitian tindakan kelas.

Ketrampilan berbicara diajarkan kepada siswa untuk membuat mereka

mampu berkomunikasi dengan bahasa Ingggri yang benar. Faktanya, guru kurang

memiliki motivasi untuk memberikan perlakuan khusus kepada siswa dalam

pengajaran berbicara. Kondisi tersebut juga terjadi di SMP 2 Gebog. Siswa tidak

dapat fokus dan aktif. Hal ini di buktikan dengan persentasi siswa yang

mendapatkan nilai tinggi hanya sekitar 36% dan 64% mendapat nilai rendah.

Setelah menganalisa permasalahan tersebut, penulis mengasumsikan

menggunakan media pembelajaran yaitu cue card untuk meningkatkan

kemampuan berbicara siswa.

Skripsi ini adalah penelitian tindakan kelas. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis

membatasi diskusi dengan menyatakan masalah berikut: “bagaimana pencapaian

ketrampilan berbicara siswa kelas VII-B dari siswa kelas tujuh SMP 2 Gebog

pada tahun ajaran 2013/2014 dengan menggunakan cue card?”. Tujuan dari

penelitian ini adalah untuk menggambarkan pencapaian ketrampilan berbicara

siswa kelas VII-B dari siswa kelas tujuh SMP 2 Gebog pada tahun ajaran

2013/2014 dengan menggunakan cue card sebagai media pengajaran.

Ada empat langkah dalam melakukan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas yaitu

perencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi, dan refleksi. Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam

tiga siklus. Siklus pertama adalah bagaimana mengekspresikan berterima kasih

dan meminta maaf, mengekspresikan suka dan tidak suka, dan daftar belanja.

Dalam hasilnya, ketrampilan berbicara siswa meningkat dari siklus I

sampai siklus III. Pada siklus I, rata-rata nilai ketrampilan berbicara siswa adalah

71.06, pada siklus II rata-rata nilai ketrampilan berbicara siswa adalah 75.33 dan

pada siklus III rata-rata nilai ketrampilan berbicara siswa adalah 81.46. Selain itu,

aktivitas siswa dan guru ditingkatkan dan masalah yang dihadapi oleh guru

berkurang pada setiap siklus. Oleh karena itu, penulis dapat menyimpulkan bahwa

penggunaan cue card dapat meningkatkan ketrampilan berbicara siswa kelas VII-

B pada kelas tujuh dari SMP 2 Gebog pada Tahun Akademic 2013/2014.

Mengacu pada penelitian tindakan ini, penulis memberikan beberapa

saran. Pertama, dia menyarankan bahwa guru bahasa Inggris harus mencoba untuk

menggunakan cue card sebagai salah satu media pembelajaran. Kedua, guru

bahasa Inggris harus mendorong siswa untuk meningkatkan ketrampilan

berbahasa mereka dengan memberikan lebih banyak praktek dan latihan, seperti

menceritakan kembali sebuah cerita, melakukan pidato, berlatih dialog, dan

sebagainya.
